CSB - Mike Arnold - LeaderBrand’s South Island Manager - The Country Sport Breakfast

This week, LeaderBrand’s delicious alpine asparagus, grown at the foot of the Southern Alps, hits the supermarket shelves. 

Asparagus is a temperature-dependent vegetable, and warmer day temperatures and sunlight helps it grow.  

The southern asparagus is slightly behind the northern growers due to this year's cold and wet spring which has delayed the season for a couple of weeks due to lower soil temperatures.   

However, it’s great news for foodies as LeaderBrand asparagus will be available for Christmas.
